KKid; If she continues to cry at night, put down one of your old well worn shirts for her to sleep on. She will be able to smell you on it and think you are there.
Hey, do what I did. For my wife's 40th aniversary I bought her s S & W Model 15 .38 Special - even bought her a S & W case to carry it in-I mean, how much love can you show a woman? She loves it and just the other day made a comment about wanting spring to get here so she can go out and shoot it.
WWIIVet has a great idea. Also, simulate the heartbeat of the mother with the ticking of a wind-up alarm clock. It did wonders when my dad brought home a black lab pup. She cried the first night but the wind-up alarm clock seemed to help the next night.
Is it just me or does this waterdish look bigger than the dog?Actually that's Katie's water dish ... we usually keep it out in the utility room, but moved it in so she would be able to get to it while we are away and Dolly is barricaded in there. Dolly's water dish is almost identical to that one but only holds about 1 cup.

Good idea ... The first couple nights I had given her one of Abby's little blankets the she uses for her dolls ... it did ok the first night, not as well the second and I don't think it helped at all last night ... I'll try a shirt and I just happen to have an old wind up clock.

What kind of woman can resist a puppy that cute?!?! Keep the dog. A couple more days of that puppy looking at your wife with those adorable puppy eyes and she'll warm right up to her.
kimberkid--One more piece of advice. As she gets older she may take to thinking she's Superman like my parents' "Buddy". Don't let her take flying leaps off of furniture. The shape and proportion of her body will put her at a mechanical disadvantage and she will be prone to painful (and expensive) back injuries if you let her do things like that.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm pretty sure in Kansas the buyers remorse peroid is only 3 days (if it applies in this case), which would have been up today. I'm not sure its really worth the hassel ... but I may check into that if we still have her on Monday, providing Dolly doesn't win Ms.Kimber over ... but that doesn't look too likely. I've heard from a couple friends that most pet shops wont take animals back ... I don't know if that's a legit practice or not.

Yeah, its not looking to good for our friend ... but geez, who would have guessed it ... If they go to Boston and get married would they have to take each other names since they're both guys ... would they be "Select Tools" [}:)]

I did some online reading up on the breed and saw that was a fairly common ailment ... also true what you said that they are loyal, intelligent dogs, and don't tend to be nippy or yappy.

This joke may clarify why she didn't want the dog.
A man asked his wife what she'd like for her

> Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was. Five hours later
> she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and
> her stomach feltupside-down.
> Right away, they journeyed to a McDonald's where
> her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a

> Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed
> exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and

Okay, I'm suprised no one has asked...how much do you want for her?
I'm a Lab man by trade, raised them, trained them for years, but I can't hardly stand the thought of an unwanted dog...particularly a pup. She seems nice enough, my neighbor has one.
Do we have to send her to an FFL dealer? [:D][:D][:D]
First off I didn't buy her to be a showdog ... she's not quite a perfect specimen, she has a small streak of blue in the bottom of her left eye:
I didn't give a premium price for her ... only $350 ... everything we already have is for big dogs ... like Katie, my ? Lab - ? Golden ... so then bought here a little bed, a few little toy's and little rawhide chewies, puppy food, little bowls, training pads yada yada yada ... So all together I've got $375-$400 in her ... I'd take $300 for her and her stuff ... of the three of us, she's kinda "picked" me and I'm starting to take a real liking to her ... even though she did get me up at 2am and 4:30am ... because she was evidently lonely ... even the wind-up clock and my t-shirt I had worn all day wasnt the comfort to her I was hoping it would be ... I'm sure if she was in the bedroom with us she'd be fine.
